Not real big on cars, but I love photography and still life, architectural, and landscape are my favorite subjects. I was also putting my digital camera (a pocket point-and-shoot) to the test, which I have not yet had many chances to do -- I was pleased with the result, and, most importantly, after 275 photos and IIRC 9 short videos, this sucker still had over 75% power left in it.

I'm a fledgling photog also, those are some good looking pics. What amazes me about photography that I've learned is that you can several hundred photos and only get a few that are worth while to show.

Having to put up with the considerable time and expense of having to get my 35MM film developed when I was first starting out, reeeeeeeeally helped teach me to study my subject, angle, lighting, shot composition, exposure settings, etc. before I randomly squeezed off a shot willy nilly.

When traveling overseas, I ran into a Time photographer doing a piece on the Pyramids. I asked him how many of his pics made it into the magazine. He said about 1 out of 100 would make it into an article, and about 1 in a thousand (or more) would make the cover. I think that ratio echoes, but maybe not quite the same stringent requirements of Time.
